Let me say this. While I was able to snag a Classified from my local Microcenter stock of the card in general especially as an exclusive is extremely limited. I know the East Coast microcenter aren't getting more than say 4 or 5 cards a week or so a representative was telling me. Forgetting about just the classified for the moment what about the FTW model which isn't an exclusive and it's virtual non existence. I would also think Evga would make stock available for their store which I guess isn't priority either. I have not received a product in stock notification in like 2 weeks and I purposely selected like every card for auto notify.

I don't know if it's a gpu issue (i.e. production issue or an engineering issue), binning issues, etc. It seems that asus, zotac and msi cards are readily available.

In the past it seems often stock becomes available at resellers before it does here at the EVGA website (or maybe any stock here just gets taken so fast that most of us aren't aware it was there in the first place), but you're right, this happens with EVERY new series.. no idea why EVGA production planners still don't have it together to assess demand more accurately time after time.
 

It is definitely a shame. I am a huge EVGA fan but am contemplating a switch over to MSI or Gigabyte. I can't bring myself to deal with the awful asus support no matter how great their product might be.

I have said it before and will say it again. EPIC FAIL of a product launch yet again by EVGA. August and on the website nothing to buy, the promised accessories
(HBSLI bridges and power adapters) not in stock or available. Months after launch and people have to play the lottery to get a card. Was waiting for a 1080 classy but at this point screw it I'm switching manufactures not cause I can't get one but because EVGA dosen't care one bit about their long time loyal customers and probly never will as long as the money flows..

1080 HYBRID up for preorder, ships next week http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-6288-KR 

Newegg has 1080 FTW (not DT model) cards in stock. Just ordered one. Happy to finally find one!!
